Several beauty salons in Aceh province were raided over the weekend and transgender women working there taken to the local police station.

The transgender women, who were also forced to wear men's clothes, will be held for three days.

Aceh is the only province in Indonesia that has strict Islamic religious law.

2. Terrorism eyed after driver rams into pedestrian in Philadelphia

Terrorism was being eyed as a possible motive after a man in a black Honda hit a pedestrian Monday morning in Philadelphia, seriously injuring one person before being shot in the head by an off-duty cop, officials said.

The 31-year-old driver, who wasn’t immediately identified, was pronounced dead at 10:15 a.m. at a hospital, police said. The driver was initially in “extremely critical condition” after the incident.

Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross Jr. said at a news conference Monday evening that while initial reports said the driver attempted to hit multiple people with his car, police have been "unable to confirm that he was trying to strike several people."

5. Second woman arrested in Tehran for hijab protest

Woman was detained after standing on telecoms box to raise headscarf on a stick in repeat of protest last month.

A second woman has been arrested in Iran for protesting against the country’s compulsory hijab rules after standing on a telecoms box on a Tehran street, taking off her headscarf and holding it aloft on a stick.

The protest follows a similar action last month against the country’s requirement that women cover themselves from head to toe in public.

Pictures posted on social media on Monday showed at least three other women standing on top of telecoms boxes in Tehran in apparent solidarity with the women, including one near Ferdowsi Square.

So far, there have been no actual terrorism or race bias charges laid for the person accused of the attack.

9. Indian Muslim cleric says women watching soccer un-Islamic

A senior cleric at an influential Islamic seminary in northern India has issued a religious decree saying that Muslim women should not watch men playing soccer.

Mufti Athar Kasmi said that watching men “playing with bare knees” violated the tenets of Islam and was forbidden for women. Kasmi is a cleric at Darul Uloom, Asia's largest Sunni Muslim seminary in the northern town of Deoband.

The cleric also lashed out at men who allow their wives to watch soccer, even on television.

“Do you have no shame? Do you not fear God? You let her watch these kinds of things,” he said in his sermon Friday.

There is more bravery in one Canadian solders shit than in the entire turdo family none of them ever served in our military. Yes I remember the German helmet and the picture of his wife.
A great disgrace to Canada both of them. Sad to think my family and many others sacrificed their lives for this POS.

Mr. Sissy Socks’ father also fought for freedom in Canada!
Hell during WWII, his old man, Pierre was found riding motorcycles in Montreal wearing German army helmets.
That whole family is a sorry excuse for humanity.

No Justin. YOU are dividing this country and driving wedges between neighbours, it is YOU.

This is not what we elect government for. to denigrate us when we say, Hey wait a minute we didn’t vote for this! Justin, we cannot be expected to be happy about you bringing in people we never would have chosen, over people we know we can live beside. Christians, Yazidis, Jews, Sikhs, Buddhists,Chinese and other nonMuslim Asians, South Africans, all the brown Christians you could ever want if it is the colour preference of this government, but all from the theocratic ideology of Islam? A political, social, cultural and religious system with demands the size of the Fort Mac Super Mosque? Supremacists who accept only one world religion, and consider all humans to be Muslim (we just don’t know it yet), and must be taught that Islam is our one true calling.
We are a generous people an accepting people. We wouldn’t be as multi cultural as we are, if we weren’t, but you go too far.
As many know from history, Islam does NOT coexist, they overtake, it is what Islam does. Justin you cannot pretend that people are not waking up to the truth. We know what Islam is, and we don’t want it.

What you are doing makes no sense unless your plan is to forsake those you are duty bound to put first, by allowing Islam take over our country. Canadians do not want Islam to take over their country. We will not lay down as Sweden has done, and we can see what has happened to Britain as well as many other European countries. Absorbed, lost.

We were born into a free Canada thanks to our forefathers who fought the Nazis off, and we will die in a free Canada, leaving behind a free country for our children. It is our responsibility and promise to the next generation, and you are jeopardising that promise and reneging on your duty ti US.YOU need to hang your head in shame. You will never shame us.

Cop’s reaction was the proper way to handle the situation.

You can’t show the islanimals any leniency. They consider it a sign of weakness.
6.
Did they keep a moment of silence to honour the soldiers killed by the radicals in St-Jean or Ottawa?

Mr. Sissy Socks is really stupid. It is not a dog’s paw but a wolf’s paw print which is La Meutte’s logo. La meute stands for wolf pack.
9.
I wonder what these islanimals would do if they went to the hospital and nurses could not look at them if they are uncovered. What a useless freakin’ religion Islam is.

Trudeau is such a jerk. He does not speak for anybody I know, and I would hazard a guess he doesn’t speak for any of the Chinese community who demonstrated asking for an apology for his insults. Insulting Canadians is the only thing Justin is good at.
